"Your Majesty, this is your schedule for today."
The eunuch Huang Xiaobao, the eunuch who was the ceremonial supervisor, Bingbi, stood behind Zhu Cihong and handed a schedule written in a memorial book to Emperor Hongxing of the Ming Dynasty who was having breakfast.
The place where Emperor Zhu ate was a hall outside the Kunning Palace. There was a long table in the hall. Emperor Zhu sat at the head, Wu Sanmei sat on his left, and Zhu Tianfeng on his right. Sitting next to them, there were two girls who lived with Wu Sanmei. They were too young to eat adult food, so they didn't eat with them.
The food on the table is very simple, including rice porridge, fried dough sticks, scrambled eggs, a small plate of pickles, and a glass of buffalo milk for each person. Enough nutrition, but not too much. Therefore, Zhu Cihong, Wu Sanmei, and Zhu Tianfeng are not very obese.
By the way, before breakfast, Emperor Zhu also practiced for half an hour, which was to jog around the main hall of Kunning Palace, and after running a few laps, he would draw the bow for a while.
After breakfast, Zhu Cixiang of course went to Fengtian Hall for work, followed by noon morning and lunch. If you don't have anything important to do after lunch, you can go to the inner school grounds to ride a horse for a while, throw stone locks for a while, and shoot a bag of arrows. If it was summer, he would go swimming in a pool in the Imperial Garden.
After the afternoon exercise, Zhu Cixiang would go to Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace or Western Tower - when Emperor Zhu was in the Forbidden City, he would choose one of these three places to sleep every night. If you want to sleep with one of the three concubines, you will spend the night in Qianqing Palace or Western-style Building. If you want to stay with the Queen, you will spend the night in Kunning Palace.
Of course, after he went to Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and Western-style Building, he didn't just eat, take a bath, and sleep. I have to continue to contribute my wisdom and wisdom to the people of Ming Dynasty. Sometimes I review memorials, sometimes I study domestic and foreign situations, sometimes I read the reports of the Royal Chamber of Commerce or convene chamber of commerce executives, and recently I am busy writing mathematics textbooks and exercises. set......
On the first and fifteenth day of each month, as well as various festivals, birthdays of Emperor Chongzhen, Queen Zhou Shang, Queen Lao Zhang, and the birthday and death of Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Cixiang would go to the palace of Emperor Chongzhen. Say hello to him or go to Xiaoling to pay homage.
In addition, there will be many temporary arrangements, such as reviewing the army, conducting examinations, and summoning various people who have to meet.
In short, the job of the emperor is incompatible with relaxation. Sometimes Zhu Cixi envied Emperor Chongzhen who ate, drank and had fun every day... He was a blessed king now. When he died, he could be given the posthumous title of Ming Fuzong!
And Zhu Cixiang, who was so busy every day, had to let the Supervisor of Ceremonies arrange his schedule, otherwise everything would be in chaos.
Emperor Zhu took over his schedule for today and was looking at it carefully when a small yellow door hurriedly appeared at the door. Huang Xiaobao walked over quickly, said a few words to the little Huangmen, turned around and quickly walked to Emperor Zhu who was having breakfast, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi Arrive at Fengtian Hall with Zhu Chunjie."
Zhu Cixiang's expression changed slightly, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, picked up another fried dough stick, and strode out while eating. Huang Xiaobao quickly called to the guards, eunuchs, and maids who were following Emperor Zhu, and a large number of people followed him.
Wu Sanmei also frowned slightly. As the Ming Dynasty gradually got on the right track, Zhu Cixiang's life became more and more regular. It was rare for someone to pull him away while eating breakfast like this.
She murmured to herself: "What's going on? It can't be Northwest... Oh!"
The northwest has become unstable again recently!
It's not that Wu Sangui is unstable, but that Zhu Cixiang's brother, the "Loan King" Zhu Cijiong, is unstable. I don’t know which Mongolian tribal leader set up the connection, but Zhu Cijiong actually hooked up with Batur Hutaiji (Batur is the name, Hutaiji is the title, which means the crown prince), the leader of the Junggar tribe in Oara Mongolia.
Moreover, this Batur Hutaiji doesn’t know what the wrong tendon is, and he wants to submit to the Ming Dynasty!
...
When Zhu Cihong rushed to the East Nuan Pavilion of Fengtian Hall, Qian Qianyi and Zhu Chunjie had been waiting at the door for a long time. Both of them were holding notebooks in their hands and sitting on chairs talking. When they saw Emperor Zhu coming, they quickly stood up and saluted.
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Stop kneeling and come in and tell me what happened?"
The East Nuan Pavilion of Fengtian Palace is where Emperor Zhu held meetings between the two governments, political meetings, summoned ministers or envoys, and reviewed memorials.
Every day before the noon meeting, Zhu Cihong would review the memorials here for a while - the matters to be discussed at the two government meetings would usually be preceded by a memorial for Emperor Zhu to read, so that no surprise attack could be carried out. The memorials that Zhu Cixi wanted to read every day were usually placed at the top of the long table in Dongnuan Pavilion in the early Qing Dynasty. There was a limit on the number of memorials. He usually only read sixteen memorials in a day.
There are six copies each for the Cabinet Office and the Generalissimo's Office, one for each of the left and right Metropolitan Inspectorate, one for Dali Temple, and one for the Council of Government. Each memorial has a word limit, which cannot exceed 2,000 words, and can only talk about one important event. However, multiple routine personnel appointments and dismissals can be combined into one major event.
In other words, in theory, Emperor Zhu only read 32,000-word reports and dealt with 16 major events every day. Affairs other than the 16 major events can be handled by your own department and reported afterwards (at noon) - Emperor Zhu's style is really incomparable to that of his father Chongzhen, and even worse than Emperor Wanli who hid from people. lazy.
However, under his "lazy government", the country was in good order and prosperous.
Of course, there are always exceptions. For example, today, an emergency other than the 16 major events occurred. It was not reported in advance, but it must be dealt with in time. Then the head of the department should visit before noon and report to Emperor Zhu in person.
Qian Qianyi and Zhu Chunjie came together today, which meant that two unexpected things happened.
"Mr. Qian, speak first." After Zhu Cihong sat down at the head of the long table, he told Qian Qianyi to speak first.
Qian Qianyi and Zhu Chunjie had already taken their seats without Zhu Cixiang's instructions. They have fixed seats at this conference table - where the chief assistant sits, where the Minister of Rites sits, and where the commander of the Jin Yiwei sits, there are regulations.
"Your Majesty," Qian Qianyi handed over the prepared memorial with both hands, "Shuofang Army's Jiedushi Envoy reported that the Junggar tribe of Oara Mongolia had a hero named Choros Batur. Huitaiji. This man was very ambitious. He wanted to unify all the tribes in Oara and also wanted to conquer the Kazakh Khanate.
In addition, the Rakshasa Kingdom continued to invade eastward, which also threatened the Oara tribes. Therefore, Batur Hutaiji has been at war with two powerful countries in the western region, the Kazakh Khanate and the Rakshasa Kingdom, at the same time over the past few years.
Because the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Kazakh Khanate had sophisticated firearms, the Junggar tribe had a very difficult time fighting. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, they were defeated miserably in their expedition against the Kazakh Khanate.
And this Batur Hutaiji somehow knew that our country could produce sophisticated firearms, so he wanted to get support, so he sent his envoy Shuofang, hoping to pay tribute and receive firearms. "
Don't know where to find out?
Zhu Cihong listened to Qian Qianyi's words and thought to himself: Wasn't this all sold by Zhu Cijiong by selling arms?
"Zhu Chunjie," Zhu Cixiang didn't make a decision right away. This matter had to be discussed by both governments. It couldn't be decided now, so he asked Zhu Chunjie, "What do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty," Zhu Chunjie also handed over the memorial, "Donglu recently sent a delegation of five ministers to Europe. They set off from the port of North Korea and built two large ships of ten thousand stones from our country to the Ryukyu Kingdom. They also landed in the Ryukyu Kingdom. He boarded a Spanish sailing ship and took the South Sea route to Europe.
In addition, Donglu fought a battle with Japan in the east on Kuwu Island in the far northeast, and seemed to be defeated, so Dorgon is preparing to form a Pacific Navy to fight against Japan..."
"What? Pacific Marine?"
